Jordan Rhodes said he wants to join Middlesbrough because of their ambition.

Jordan Rhodes has revealed his disappointment after Blackburn rejected a big-money offer from Middlesbrough for his services.

Blackburn rejected an offer in excess of £10 million for Scotland international Rhodes, who moved to Ewood Park from Huddersfield in 2012.

Middlesbrough, who had Patrick Bamford and Jelle Vossen on loan last season, will have a new-look attack in the coming campaign and expected to tie up a deal for Uruguay international Christian Stuani from Espanyol.
